We met in high school and were just friends...for a very long time. Until a couple years ago Drew tagged along on a New Year's trip with some mutual friends and Drew was hooked. I on the other hand was completely oblivious. After multiple attempts by Drew to come visit me and it not working, he informed me one day that he was going to be "driving through" Nashville on his way from Philadelphia to Colorado...just an 11 hour detour. Before Drew arrived I was very nervous because I was not sure what was going to come of it and I surely wasn't ready to be in a relationship. But when Drew got there all my nerves disappeared and I felt total peace, like I was finally home. I didn't even stress about school while he was there (which was a big deal). During that trip, nothing was said about what our relationship was or where we were going. We left it just as friends, but I think both of us knew that something great was about to happen. We continued to talk over the phone for the next month or so and at one point I jokingly told Drew he should come out for Halloween. And sure enough he did! For a whole week! The night he flew in he told me exactly how he felt and I told him the same and the rest is history
